Ooga Chaka - Review, Demo Play, Payout, Free Spins & Bonuses

Introduction

Set in a prehistoric wilderness, follow our brave duo of dinosaur hunters as they take on a trio of fierce dinos in Ooga Chaka from CQ9 Gaming. This title is built on a five-reel, three-row grid with nine always-on paylines.

Match our dinosaur hunters alongside their weapons and the T rex, triceratops and oviraptor to win prizes.

Keep an eye out for the wild volcano. In addition to substituting for all symbols, this is the key to the free spin bonus game.

Theme, graphics & soundtrack

Unfortunately for some, the title Ooga Chaka bears no relation to the Star Lord favourite Hooked on a Feeling by Blue Swede, although this chant makes appearances throughout the game, most notably when something big is happening. 

The graphics are well designed; however, this title unfortunately suffers somewhat from graphics that are likely to be a little too appealing to younger players. As is sometimes the case with online slots design, the graphics could benefit from being a touch more 'grown up'.

Whilst not strictly speaking graphics, the text in the paytable looks like it has been converted into English by way of Google Translate, making the meaning somewhat difficult to decipher.

Ooga Chaka RTP and variance

Ooga Chaka review: our verdict

This is an engaging enough game with an innovative free spin bonus feature. As mentioned above, the biggest problem with this title is the fact that the graphics are likely to be far too appealing to younger players. Likewise, the instructions are likely to be difficult for English speakers to understand due to the poor translation.
